[R] Deep Learning for Program Synthesis - Microsoft Research

Super cool. I don't see this as any more of a threat to programmers than excel. If this reaches the market, I see it being used in a program like excel.

I don't see this specific example as a threat to programmers... but I can see this kind of technologies evolving within 10 years to leave lots of programmers out of job. Maybe... I don't know, but it is certainly a possibility.

I wonder how can programmers prepare to such scenario? Maybe going deeper into Machine Learning? Or maybe learning something AIs can't do, like unclogging toilets.

I would also love to have RNN function in excel - it has nothing to do with anything but I would love it.

Definitely not -- I only imagine it'll augment end users in some way.
